MetalQuest Mining ( (TSE:MQM) ) just unveiled an announcement.

MetalQuest Mining has amended the royalty structure on its Lac Otelnuk Iron Project in Quebec, replacing the existing royalty with a 2.5% gross overriding royalty on iron product sales with no deductions, and securing a one-time right to reduce that royalty by 1.0% through the issuance of 500,000 common shares to the royalty holder. The company has already notified the royalty holder of its intention to exercise this reduction right, which, once approved by the TSX Venture Exchange, would lower the royalty burden to 1.5%, enhance MetalQuest’s flexibility in future technical work programs and project planning, and preserve a right of first refusal on any future sale of the remaining royalty interest, thereby strengthening its economic position and strategic control over this flagship iron asset.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:MQM) stock is a Hold with a C$0.30 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on MetalQuest Mining stock, see the TSE:MQM Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:MQM Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:MQM is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (ongoing cash burn and lack of stable, revenue-supported operating profitability), with a secondary drag from a very high P/E and no dividend support. Offsetting these risks, technicals are strong, with price above key moving averages and positive momentum indicators.
